Geico "In Stock" date

I'd ignore it because I know it's wrong. Sometimes bad data gets entered into computers. You'll see...

Andy do I have to have the new DX3S to "bind and drive" with the included rx? Any less expensive tx's I can use? I still use my old banged up DX2. I would like to upgrade my receivers to the marine versions but rx's + a DX3S is a pretty heavy bill

[AndyKunz]

Hi Keith,

If your DX2 has a boat logo on it near the car, then you can use your existing tx. If it doesn't you need to change either the rx or the tx. I strongly recommend you get a Marine-compatible transmitter so that you can use it on the water reliably. The Marine radios have a long antenna lead, but only the last inch or so is "active" antenna - the rest is just a cable to allow you to position it properly.

You don't need to change your receivers if you get the DX3S. It still works just fine with the SR-type receivers. It supports both Marine and Surface protocols.

Guys... if you want a less expensive, but equally as effective, Spektrum radio setup, look into the DX3E as well. Not all the bells and whistles of the DX3S, but nicely priced and same performance.

Just to clarify,
1. can the unused wire be coiled and tie wrapped inside the hull?
2. how high does the last inch or so have to extend? Is higher better?

[AndyKunz]

The unused wire can be coiled, but NO SMALLER THAN 2" DIA COIL! Otherwise it breaks internally and it's not fun (especially in an airplane, don't ask how).

The higher the better for the active portion. We made the antenna as long as we did because I needed it that long for my Sport and rigger hulls to get it out. Also, it works best when that portion is vertical.
